What is the meaning of data displayed by netstat -a

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Basically i want to see what process is using what Port in Windows XP .
So i ran a basic netstat -a -n -o on to Command Prompt .


But it displayed some data , which i wasn't aware of . Could you please explain

Please find the screen shot of displayed Data of my System .

Try typing netstat /?

Thanks , now this looks better than the previous .

One more question is it possible to know the ProcessName also using netstat .
For example i started Tomcat on 8080 and ran netstat and this got displayed on Command Prompt .
TCP c8063:1883 localhost:8080 ESTABLISHED

Is it possible to display the Process name also ??

[Paul Sturrock]

No. But you have the PID, you can just look that up.

But you have the PID, you can just look that up.

What do you mean by look that up ??
Do you mean to say : http:localhost:PID ??

Thanks .

The Task Manager shows the process IDs (PIDs) and process names together.

The columns on task manager are configurable.
